About Us
We are inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson's observation:
"The task ahead of you is never as great as the Power within You."
When you open the door to the Life Tree Counseling Center lobby, you may experience relief in escaping the chaos of life and entering a state of serenity. Our goal as Licensed Professional Counselors is to partner with you so that peaceful state of mind is experienced not only in our comfortable waiting area but also in your daily life.
Through the application of proven counseling techniques, your counselor will assist you in addressing the concerns of life: addictions, anxiety, blended family issues, depression, divorce, eating disorders, family conflict, grief, phobias, relationships, self-esteem, school related problems, and loss of direction.
There are challenges in every season of your life. These difficult times offer you the opportunity to grow and develop new life skills that will enrich your life. We will encourage you to take a proactive approach to your counseling by embracing the assignments to be completed outside of the therapy sessions. All "homework" assignments-- written reflection, reading, or behavioral experiments-- are created to enhance the counseling experience and encourage you to be an active evaluator and director of your therapy.
Although counselors at Life Tree Counseling Center may have distinctive styles of therapy, all practice with a commitment to the following core values:
- Personal Growth
Your path and direction are your choices. The counselor's role is to facilitate rather than dictate your progress. - Personal Responsibility and Accountability
When you assume responsibility for your emotions, attitudes, actions, and the resulting consequences, you are empowering yourself to change. This fosters personal growth. - Truthful and Direct Communication
Working in an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding, you acquire knowledge of yourself. With this powerful information, you can learn to manage your strengths and weaknesses effectively as you challenge yourself to pursue your goals. - Personal Renewal
Identifying your personal source of comfort, direction, or energy provides you with the strength and courage to effectively manage your life. Rejuvenation allows you to enjoy a sense of well-being and happiness.
At the End Of The Day . . .
Our goal is for you to embrace your strength, courage,
and wisdom that will lead you to the peaceful clarity of serenity.
